Hey TheEd,
Didn't do a run at all for the last two days as lots of work came up
Probably a good thing to help me recover though.
Today I did the 5x2km session with 90sec rest in between each interval
interval time av hr max hr rest hr
1 8:11.2 171 181 103
2 8:15.0 173 179 104
3 8:13.6 171 178 110
4 8:16.7 171 180 119
5 8:13.6 171 177 104
The resting HR after the whole lot seems quite low, but it was still after 90 seconds. I think I was moving around more after the 4th interval which is why the resting hr was so high. By the end it wasn't particularly cardiovascularly challenging, more that my calf muscles were getting very tight and the rest wasn't helping them.
I have been trying to do more forefoot running to avoid the knee injuries but I think maybe I am coming up too high on my toes and that is why my calf muscle is always suffering. What are your thoughts?
